“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands…so that you daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be a burden to anybody…therefore encourage on another and build each other up.”

Artist’s Interpretation:

Our work is God’s work. Let it be something we are proud of and a legacy to pass on. Our lives should be paid forward and lived honorably so our sharing of God’s love is effective and respected. We should encourage each other as Christians in all of our good works, as Paul did for the Thessalonians.
